Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 29, 1907.

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

. Beit lknown that I, FREDERICK G. WISE- LOGEL, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State ofIndiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in SanitaryDump-Wagons, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a wagon, more especiallydesigned for hauling wet garbage, the construct-ion being such that thecontents may be readily dumped.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention. I

Figure 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a longitudinal vertical section;Fig. 3, a front elevation; Fig. 4, a rear elevation.

In the drawings, 10 indicates a main body or reservoir having the usualhinged covers 11, provided with suitable fastenin means 12. The rear endof the body 10 is c osed by means of an end-gate 14, supported uponhorizontal hinges at its upper edge. Any desired means may be providedfor clamping the end-gate in position to make a water-tight closure; butI find a convenient means to be that shownin detail -in Fig. 4. In thisconstruction a disk l5 is pivoted upon the end-gate at about its centerand provided with an operating-lever 16, by means of which it may berocked about its pivot. Radiating from plate 15 is a plurality of links17, each of which is pivotally connected to a sliding bolt 18, mountedin suitable bearings on the endgate and adapted to be projected intoopenings formed in adjacent sides and bottom of the body 10, the boltsbeing preferably Wedge-shaped at their ends in order to force theend-gate home to its seat.

Therunning-gear carries a pair of longitudinal tracks 20, each of whichat its rear end terminates in an arc-shaped downward eX- tension 20 Thetracks 20-are adapted to receive and support rollers 21, carried by themain body 10, thus supporting the main body 10 upon the running-gear.The running-gear also carries an intermediate longitudinal rack 22,adapted to receive a pinion 23, carried by a cross-shaft 24, journaledin suitable bearin s carried by the under side of body 10. Shaft 24 isdriven by means of a train of gears 25 from an operating-shaft 26,provided with an operating-crank 27, the arrangement being such that byrotating the crank-shaft the pinion 23 may be rotated and caused totravel along the rack 22, and thus propel the main body 10 forward orbackward on the running-gear. Arranged in the path of movement of thegear 25 of each of the trains 25 is a substantially vertical segmentalrack 28, terminating in a stop-finger 29.

The running-gear at its forward end is pro'- vided with a pair ofuprights 30, adapted to support a seat 31, said seat being hingedthereto and adapted to be folded back over the forward end of the mainb'ody 10 when in normal position. In order to hold the main body 10 inordinary transporting position, I mount upon the forward end thereof adisk 32, operated by means of a lever 33. Disk 32 carries a pair'ofoppositely-extending links 34, each of which is connected at its outerend to a sliding bolt 35, mounted upon the forward end of the main body10 and adapted to be projected into suitable openings formed in the uprihts 30. The rear end of body 10 is provide with a downwardly andforwardly extending hook 36, which when the body 10 is projected to itseXtreme forward position will pass under a cross-bar 37, which forms apart of the running-gear, thus holding the rear end of the main body 10down upon the running-gear.

In operation the normal transporting position is indicated in full linesin Fig. 1. When it is desired to dump the contents, the rear door isreleased by swinging lever 16, so as to Withdraw the several bolts 18.Thereupon the operator by turning crank 27 rotates shaft 24 and pinion23, so as to drive the reservoir backward along the running-gear untilgears 25 come into mesh with the segments 28, whereupon further rotationofthe crank will cause the gears 25 to ride upward over the segments 28,and thus tilt the reservoir, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, thegate 14 swinging freely, so as to permit the material to flow out fromthe reservoir. During the dumping movement one of therollers 21 on eachside of body 10 rides down along the extensions 20, so that the gears 25are held IOO in mesh with segments 28. By reversing the direction ofrotation of the crankshaft the parts will be returned to normalposition.

I claim as my invention- 1. In a dumping-wagon, the combination, withthe running-gear, of a receptacle movably mounted thereon, alongitudinal rack carried by the running-gear, a pinion carried by thereceptacle and meshing ,with said rack, means for rotating said pinion,a segmental rack carried by the running-gear, and a pinion carried bythe receptacle and adapted to be brought into engagement with thesegmental rack.

2. In a dumping-wagon, the combination, with the runninggear, of alongitudinal track having a downward extension at its rear end, anupwardly-extending segmental rack arranged in opposition to saidextension, a receptacle movably supported on the track and having amember adapted to engage the said extension, a longitudinal rack carriedby the running-gear, a pinion carried by the receptacle and meshing withsaid rack, a pinionl carried by the running-gear and adapted to meshwith the vertical segment, means for rotating said pinions, and meansfor holding the receptacle in normal receiving position.

3. In a dumping-wagon, the combination,

with the running-gear, of a receptacle reciproeally mounted thereon, avertical rack carried by the running-gear, a pinion journaled on thereceptacle and adapted to be brought into mesh with the rack, means forpropelling the receptacle longitudinally on the runninggear, and asingle means for operating the said propelling means and the racl-engaging pinion.

4;. In a dumping-wagon, the combination, with the running-gear, of areceptacle reciprocally mounted thereon, a vertical rack carried by therunning-gear, a pinion journaled on the receptacle and adapted to bebrought into mesh with the rack, means for propelling the receptaclelongitudinally on the runninggear, a single means for operating the saidpropelling means and the rack-engaging pin* ion, and a downwardextension carried by the runninggear in opposition to the vertical rack,and means carried by the receptacle to engage said extension.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, atIndianapolis, Indiana, this 3d day of October, A. D. 1906.
